Spring:

…that time of year when finally, we start to feel the brush of warmer air against our dry, winter skin. Spring is when we sense the return of the warm sun and happily observe longer hours of daylight. We start to plant our seedlings and have hope that the earth will provide for us yet another year. In this case for most Canadians, we wonder – is old man winter finally going on vacation for a while? Will the ground thaw, will the grass grow? Of course it will! We can’t avoid the turning of the seasons, thank goodness!

And so it goes, this is also a symbolic time for many who take traditional meals and events around Good Friday and the days and weeks preceding.

However you choose to spend your weekend, we hope it is filled with the hope and joy that only spring can bring.
